A combination of warmer weather and a bit of wind has helped farmers this past week.
According to the latest crop report, 23 per cent of the crop is in the bin. That is up from 18 per cent last week, but still trails the five-year (2014-18) average of 50 per cent for this time of year.
Thirty-six per cent of the crop is now swathed or ready to straight-cut.
The most progress has been in the southwest region, where 37 per cent of the crop has been combined. The southeast region is next (28 per cent), followed by the west-central (26 per cent), northeast (15 per cent), east-central (12 per cent), and northwest (10 per cent).
Ninety per cent of winter wheat, 88 per cent of fall rye, 78 per cent of field peas, 75 per cent of lentils, 39 per cent of barley, 17 per cent of durum and oats, 13 per cent of spring wheat, and six per cent of canola is in the bin.
